At the start of free agency the season Worms hadn't made any, significant, moves to their roster. Most likely Worms was looking to be a border line playoff team, most likely, a BOTR team like last season. Swooping up Jek, somehow snatching Devil away from his posse, and a lucky first post in the recruitment thread to get Trisance, Worms was able to do a 180 before the start of the season. Leadership: 82 The leadership for Worms has been solid. Last season they lead pretty vanilla never trying to do anything exotic. Now that they have some legit firepower added to their roster they are going to have to adjust and lead accordingly to make sure they are able to get everything out of their assets. Chemisty: 84 The chemistry is getting better, but I believe they are still working out the kinks. It's tough when a team has had a bunch of players that have played with each other for a few seasons, then trying to add in star type players. Everyone is going to have to re define their roles and figure out how the players next to them plays in every situation. Marines: 90 I really like the marines on Worms, they have a good mix of aggressive and passive marines. They have aggressive marines like Splittah and Trisance. They have excellent dodging marines that can kill from distance: Jek and SM. They have one of the best role playing marines in the league with Bmei. And they have an X factor marine that can do it all with Devil. Kaga is a two way player who can play marine and medic. R and OlaCola are ok, but are far better coming off the bench and not having to rely on them to be starts against the top competition. Medics: 90 Not really sure if they are going to be starting Kaga and Slob or Bronco and Slob. I think their best medic is Kaga, he is one of the best dual threat medics in the league that swing battles with his ability to kill and heal. Bronco and Slob are both excellent support medics, they rarely take early battle deaths or explosive deaths (laws / nades). Overall: 86.5 Worms has all of the tools to win the championship this season. Right now they are sitting at 2-1. They had a 3 kill loss to snakes week 1 of the season. Week 1 they hadn't had much time to play together and I think if they were to play Snakes again they would edge them out. This week they play AD, but next week they play friends and we will learn a lot about worms and how far they have come since coming together.

👥 Player Notes

DeviL

Aim:91 Dodge: 94 Awareness: 99 Game changing:92 Overall: 94 One of the best players in the league. He understand the game like very few can. Versatile.

Trisance

Aim:94 Dodge: 89 Awareness: 85 Game changing:92 Overall: 90 Very aggressive marine, he likes to get up close and personal. Sometimes he will get tunnel vision but can still make battle breaking kills.

Aska

Marine Aim:82 Dodge: 90 Awareness: 88 Game changing:85 Overall: 86.2 Medic Healing: 92 Survinve Ability:94 PDW Support:96 Awareness:88 Overall:92.5 Overall PR:89.4 He is one of my favorite medics to watch play. I just think worms is a better squad when Kaga meds.

slob

Healing: 90 Survinve Ability:89 PDW Support:81 Awareness:85 Overall:86.3 Any squad would want a medic like slob. He gets the heals off, whether that be group heals or timing swing heals from marine to marine.

bronco

Healing: 90 Survinve Ability:86 PDW Support:80 Awareness:80 Overall:84 He has all of the tools and makeup to be a really good medic.

Aim:82 Dodge: 85 Awareness: 84 Game changing:83 Overall: 83.5 Sometimes SM will be inconsistent. He has looked like a 90 at times and an 80 other times.

Jek

Aim:80 Dodge: 90 Awareness: 83 Game changing:77 Overall: 82.5 Another very solid marine. His play style makes it a lot easier on the medics.

Aim:82 Dodge: 82 Awareness: 82 Game changing:77 Overall: 80.75 Like I said last season he has gone soft. He used to be one of the best marines in the league. Splittah used to get into up close engagements and would just overpower other marines.

Bmei

Aim:80 Dodge: 82 Awareness: 83 Game changing:80 Overall: 81.3 Very solid marine, he doesn't have many bad deaths. Sometimes he will play either too passive or too aggressive.

England

Aim:74 Dodge: 76 Awareness: 70 Game changing:73 Overall: 73.3 Used to be really good, not too sure what is going on with him. Feels weird giving him such low ratings.

OlaCola

Aim:75 Dodge: 75 Awareness: 72 Game changing:69 Overall: 72.8 Some people were on the OlaCola hype train last season because he had a few good scores in scrims. Everyone knows scrims are just scrims and players need to show out when the lights are on.

Aim:70 Dodge: 68 Awareness: 70 Game changing:65 Overall: 68.3 Never been a fan of his play in USL. He just seems too hesitant and always a step behind. A player needs to decide what kind of player they are going to be and commit to that.

Fire and Ice

Healing: 73 Survinve Ability:66 PDW Support:63 Awareness:60 Overall:65.5 Serviceable medic during the week during scrims. During matches she becomes a liability and needs to be protected.

Honestly haven't seem him play or if he has played in a scrim I was in I didn't even notice him. So that tells me that he probably wasn't making a difference.
